Stanley John Hula Jr.

Stanley John Hula Jr., 81, a lifelong resident of Charles City, went to be with the Lord on Dec. 28, 2021.

As a longtime member of Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, Stanley served in numerous roles including Deacon, Sunday school teacher, bible study leader, and occasionally filling in with a sermon. He was a lifelong farmer and collector of antique farm equipment. Stanley was a pioneer of the “no-till farming” and his land could be considered some of the oldest continuous “no-till” land around.

A devoted and loving family man, Stanley was preceded in death by his wife of 55 years, Nancy Jean Wray Hula; a son, Stanley John Hula III, and a brother, Marvin Bobb Hula.

He is survived by his wife, Deborah; three sons, David (Sandy), Johnny, and Jeff (Meriah); grandchildren, Amber (Robbie), Craig, Eric, Ellie, and Emma; two great-grandchildren, Wraylan and Tinsley; step-children, Rose, Stanley “Buck”, and April; and two step-grandchildren, Julian and Faith.

A graveside service and interment was held on Friday, Dec. 31, at Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, 19300 The Glebe Lane, Charles City, VA 23030.
